As I mentioned before this year was a crazy holiday. We made a turkey and a ham. The ham is slowly being devoured in the form of sandwiches and soon to play a starring role in a soup. The turkey leftovers are another matter. This time I wanted to do something a bit different. Soup? *yawn* Curry? *yawneroonie* Sandwiches? *snore* Turkey dinner stew? *what what? who there?* hehe. So I thought about it and pulled out the “turkey juice” I had saved from the freezer and pondered the idea. This year the turkey juice had some stuffing that had fallen into it so we had dubbed it at first a slurry and then it became slurkey when we discovered it had stuffing AND turkey in it. If you still have some gravy leftover from your own feast feel free to use it in place of the oxo, flour and slurkey. I would if we still had some it would probably be a tad healthier.
Sadly, no picture this time…the camera was out of power from holiday pictures and the stew was devoured before it could charge. I believe omnomnom was uttered by some of the ravenous horde…no not that horde…WoW does not come to play here anymore.
